Today, Climate Whistleblowers (CW) and a consortium of European media partners publish Unrestricted, a cross-border investigation spanning 7 European countries.
Unrestricted examines how KTM, the motorcycle giant, facilitates the widespread derestriction of an entire line of its motorcycles before they reach customers, increasing emissions and noise pollution.
Unrestricted, ten years after Dieselgate, raises questions about enforcement, accountability, and compliance to environmental regulations in the transport sector.

Australia is not the only election LaCivita claims to be working on - he's also advising the right in Albania.
As he put it, that's “one place where American meddling in their elections is encouraged.
Everywhere else, not so much’’.
